Rita Whaley, ChicagoMember Since May 2010Artist Statement PLEASE CLICK THE BACK ARROW TO EXPLORE MY OTHER GALLERIES.

Thank you for visiting RitaWhaleyArt.com to see my paintingsMy vibrant and colorful paintings will uplift your spirits and encourage your imagination. I hope to share a different and unexpected view of our common humanity and the beauty of our magnificent world. My intention is to find and express the essence of life from my own intuitive sensibility.

As a former psychotherapist, I am inspired by my work with children. Their direct and innocent view of the world allows me to experiment, have fun, and let go of previous expectations.

Because of a chronic illness, I now also use a digital brush to paint and create new images. My paintings are then printed on canvas in a variety of sizes. My work is genuine, with the extra benefit of allowing me to sell my art at affordable prices.

Thanks again for visiting my website. I hope you come back to see my new paintings. You can reach my by e-mail at: rita@sparksofjoy.com or call:773 654 3949
